Upgraded Home in Ingleside Heights

With San Francisco real estate prices as high as they are, it is rare to find a nice home listed for under $700,000. The one I saw today is listed for $699,000, but it is in Ingleside Heights, just north of the Daly City border, and closer to Daly City BART station than any other San Francisco landmark. It's also clear that this house needs major maintenance. But the bones are great, it certainly looks like when the house was built in 1930, the interior received all the "upgrades".

The listing can be seen at: https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Francisco/70-Vernon-St-94132/home/1599685. And for an extra $300,000, you can have the lot next door too! I hope someone doesn't come in and buy these two properties and then tears this beautiful house down to build a brand new big house.

From the exterior it does not look like that nice:


But you can tell from the diamond patterned floors that this is nice on the inside (even if everything is in rough shape).

Original kitchen:


Bedroom also has nice moldings:


Beautifully original tiled bathroom:


The house comes with an extra sun room that extends from one of the two bedrooms in the back, which was a real nice bonus feature back in the day. Unfortunately, since the backyard is already small, the sunroom does crimp it a bit:


Finally, the garage level is wide open and empty, ready for remodeling:
